Help needed for a very sick goat

Glad to hear she is doing better!

The anema hasn't went away. . And that picture was before she got anemic. . We are trying the nutri drench

It can take awhile for an anemic goat to look better. Be patient.
If you attempt to feed her up too quickly she will put on fat around her internal organs and that won't be good for her.
Just deal with the medical. Follow instructions on labels and feed additives to a t.
Always remember...Too much of a good thing is bad.
As for mice. I'm hard hearted in regards to rats and mice. They carry way too many diseases that can affect my stock and my own health to even consider not eradicating them any way possible via cats, traps.

I understand that on the mice thing.. we are just in a situation right now. . Where we live in a camper. . Outside my gmas house. . No land or houses for sale right now. . And my girl lives animals. . And someone here keeps killing any cats we get. . And killed our collie that was in her pen.. she went inside when we are here.. but.. I just couldn't say no when she asked to keep the mouse because it can be in a cage in the house where the neighbors won't be able to kill it. She's such a good girl. . She's 14.. has 2 jobs . Has 2 guilts and we are doing our best with this goat.. and of course with any situation there's always someone who doesn't do what they should. .. and so we have a couple who doesn't take care of their hogs.. doesn't even keep their water clean. . Like to the point if we don't take care of it.. The water will smell like sewer water... and she helps take care of them. . And we go up and cool the hogs down numerous times a day. .. lol.. we are suckers

Your neighbors sound awful.
Poor kid.
Sounds like she has a good work ethic though.

My daughter has a show goat .. she's been sick since we got her. She's absolutely beautiful but we are very new to goats at all. She stays at the school farm. First I kept telling the ag teacher that she would not eat. So we got grass hay and she would eat that. And we would have to carry her down to graze. Finally the ag teacher took her to a vet. One I don't have alot of faith in. But anyway she was diagnosed withStrongyloides and cocci. So she was treated for that multiple times. And she just kept getting worse. She is white as white can be under the eye lid. So I called my normal vet and they gave me an injection of b 12 and a couple other things that is supposed to give her a boost. So I took a stool sample in and yesterday she was diagnosed with brown stomach worms. And she's so anemic that she developed a bit of I believe it's called bottle jaw. We have been giving her all the alfalfa and grass hay she will eat. But she's very weak and still refuses to eat any pellets .. she was offered kale, celery, green peppers and bananas but will not touch them. I am very worried as she has my ag teacher stumped and all the vets around here are acting like jerks like it's just a goat kind of attitude and I have never delt with anemic animal nor has the ag teacher. We are quite fond of her .. she's funny she plays dead and acts.. it's just funny. . But I hate to see her die because I can't figure out how to help her. . And because my vet is more interested in any other animals than a goat. Please and thank you for any help available

Had problems with goats looking rough, not eating, suspected worms so gave herbal wormer to no avail, tried commercial, no avail. Read article about copper deficiecy so gave each goat 1/2 teaspoon of copper sulfate for 5 days and did it 3 times a year. Goats started eating better, coats cleared up and worm problem seems to be non-existent, there is a bloss to feed them but don't like the idea. So in my bread maker I'm making a loaf of multi grain non gmo bread and adding the copper sulfate for a group of 4 just giving them each a slice until its all gone. About five days for 4 goats. Knowing goats i think they'll like it, oh ya, copper sulfate has a bitter taste, i know i tried it. If the goats aren't eating what i give them i try it, found some bad tasting feed from fead store that way.
